Here's hoping they don't get in when the next GE rolls around.

This here is the problem. Not just in the UK but the world.

Control why people see and hear, you control what they think.

And yet they’ll be millions of UK voters who will raise their Weatherspoons pints and cheer this on. Most likely 51%. All the same ones who hate foreigners, hate woke and hate anyone to the left of Enoch Powell.

Why don't we put a tax on racist/nazi views? Every time you say in public something racist, your tax goes up by 10%.

To not realise that renewable energy means energy independence is the stupidest, shortest term thinking going. I don’t worry about heating my home even though where I live gets considerably colder than the UK. Why? Because it’s locally generated renewable energy.
